(old). The good news first: The morning idyll at the Langener Waldsee, the Frankfurt skyline and the fields of the Wetterau will again be atmospherically staged at the 21st edition of the Frankfurt Triathlon on Sunday. This is ensured by the live broadcast by Hessischer Rundfunk (from 6.15 a.m.) and international broadcasting via the Internet.
However, the people on the television sets and along the route will have to do without pictures of male professionals. Only the age groupers compete at the Ironman in Frankfurt.
The absence of the male elite in Frankfurt is due to the fact that the world championships for women and men are now held separately. This year in October, women will be fighting for the crown of triathlon on the legendary course in Hawaii.
The men’s world championship, on the other hand, will take place in Nice in September. Since the time between Frankfurt and Nice for two long distances of 3.8 kilometers swimming, 183 kilometers cycling and 42.1 kilometers running is very short, the World Triathlon Corporation decided to offer the qualification opportunities for the men’s World Championships to Hamburg at the beginning of June to forgive. So the focus is on the female elite. And like last year, Darmstadt-born Daniela Bleymehl wants to be the first to cross the finish line at the Ironman in Frankfurt.
